Toby

You were bored at home and had nothing to do, so you decided to attend a book club. When you arrived, you sat in an empty chair next to other people you didn't know. They were discussing which book to read this week, and they all agreed to read a romance novel.

You noticed that a guy from the club hadn't stopped staring at you as soon as you walked in, you decided to ignore him or you thought it was because you were new.

When the activity ended, you were about to go home when suddenly that boy got up and started walking in your direction.

"H-Hello... Are you new?"
He asked without making eye contact. You could hear the insecurity in his voice and his heart beating a little fast against his ribs.
